World at a "turning point," a "war" has been declared against Russia: Putin

 At the Red Square Victory Day parade in Moscow on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the world was at a "changing moment" and that a "war" had been declared against Russia.


Putin declared that Russia would win and said that its forces' future in Ukraine "rests on" their success.



15 months into Russia's offensive in Ukraine, the customary Soviet-style celebration commemorating Moscow's victory over the Nazis was held despite security concerns.


At the parade, which also featured elderly veterans and soldiers from Russia's campaign in Ukraine, Putin declared that "civilization is today at a decisive turning point once again."


He declared, "A battle has broken out against our motherland." Putin urged victory for Russia: "For Russia, for our armed forces, for victory! Hurrah!”

The Russian president has been portraying the war in Ukraine as an existential one that the West has intensified by backing the Ukrainian government, him.


Putin reminded the hundreds of soldiers participating in Moscow's Ukrainian war who were present at the march in Red Square that "the whole country is with you." Nothing right now is more crucial than your combat effort, he continued.



"The future of our statehood and our people depend on you, and the security of the nation depends on you today." In his tirade against "Western globalist elites," Putin also charged them with fomenting uprisings and "coups" throughout the world.


The downfall and destruction of our nation is their aim, and this is nothing new, he declared.

The long-serving head of Russia pledged that Moscow will triumph against this. Yet, he added, "We have rejected international terrorism, and we will protect the people of (the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine) and maintain our security.


In the lead-up to the Victory Day parade, a key event under Putin's administration, this appeared to be a reference to a historically unparalleled wave of assaults on Russian soil.

 Kou Itakura of Japan joins Takehiro Tomiyasu and Daniel Yabuki in jubilation following the World Cup match between Germany and Japan on November 23 at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The Reuters Japan did the same, fending off Germany's ferocious attempts to salvage a point from the Group 'E' opener for both teams on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Saudi Arabia lit up the FIFA World Cup with a shocking upset of Argentina. Takuma Asano eliminated Nico Schlotterbeck from the equation with a first touch for the ages after getting the ball wide out on the right from a free kick in his own area. Asano continued to run with the goal in his sights, but the shooting angle was getting more congested. For Asano to defeat Manuel Neuer, a monster shot was required. Asano, who came on as a replacement just before the hour mark, accomplished that. The ball made a clean connection with the goalie before crashing into the net's ceiling and bringing down the Khalifa S...
